Will my Nipples Point Outward After Breast Augmentation? (photo)

The proper placement of an implant will ensure that you have the most natural result possible.  This is accomplished by precise dissection and the use of the correct size implant.  In looking at your picture, it does seem that your nipples do point outward slightly.  This may increase slightly with the placement of an implant, though you will still having natural result.  Thank you for your question.

I think you'll get a great result!!! Even though your breast do have just a hint of an outward tilt to them, your cleavage area is great I agree that your shape will be much like it is now.....

If you are seeking breast augmentation, I would recommend choosing a moderate size from the range that suits your frame (which is determined by taking measurements during consultation, along with the experience of your surgeon), and placing the implant under the muscle. The position of your nipple areola complex is somewhat lateral to start (off to the sides), and this will be more noticeable to you after augmentation. This is not because the nipples are moved, but simply because there is more volume underneath making this stand out more. I still think you can have a nice result, but probably the larger you go the more noticeable it will be. I would recommend seeking out a consultation with a board certified plastic surgeon who has experience with breast augmentation.
